Watch: 58 Seconds Guaranteed to Give Kneelers a Heart Attack

In just under a minute, this footage from a coal mine in West Virginia has managed to put the NFL, kneelers, and those who hate American everywhere to shame.

While millionaire football players are refusing to stand for the national anthem like entitled spoiled brats and yet others are burning and stomping our flag, here is one group of men that are doing just the opposite: Getting their hands dirty and going to work.

In a very emotionally touching video posted on Facebook by coal miner Shane Wriston, he and a group of his fellow colleagues are preparing to to do a tough and dangerous job that few people appreciate, and yet this is something that they do hundreds of times per year.

This decent however was different. One fellow miner, Josh Stowers, decided to sing the National Anthem first:

There is no kneeling in this bath house …… we have daily Safety Meeting before every shift before these guys go Underground , and we appreciate josh volunteering to sing after the meeting,thanks Josh Stowers #singingcoalminer

“There is no kneeling in this bath house… we have daily Safety Meeting before every shift before these guys go Underground, and we appreciate Josh volunteering to sing after the meeting, thanks Josh Stowers #singingcoalminer .”

“I wanted everybody to feel close together as a whole family right then and there. A bunch of guys I work with have past military experience and I knew that song would hit them real hard and make them feel comfortable. They could’ve had a bad day at that time, and that song would put them over the edge and make them feel better about themselves.”

Even though coal mining has had some great advances in technology over the last 20 + years, it still remains one of America’s most dangerous jobs.

Besides putting the self-centered anthem kneelers in professional football to shame, the viral video is also a bit of a coal-gritty middle finger to former president Barack Obama.

In 2008, Obama declared that his plans against traditional energy were specifically designed to “bankrupt” the industry, making it no secret that shutting down the entire coal sector, and at least 50,000 jobs, was his goal.

“My administration is putting an end to the war on coal. I am taking historic steps to lift the restrictions on American energy, to reverse government intrusion, and to cancel job-killing regulations.”
